The Three Little Pigs is about the three pigs set off to find materials to each build their own house. The first pig builds the house out of straw. Once the pig is finished, the big bad wolf comes knocking on the door to let him. He disguises himself so the pig won’t know it’s him and let him in. The pig doesn’t let him in so the wolf huffs and puffs and blow his house down. The wolf then eats him. The second pig builds his house out of sticks. The wolf sees that he is finished and tries to come into that house. The pig doesn’t let him in so the wolf blows down that house and eats him. The third pig builds his house out of bricks. The wolf tries to blow down this house but can’t. It is too strong. The wolf tries to trick the pig into coming out of his house but he is too smart and doesn’t budge. The wolf then decides to come down the chimney and tries to get in that way, but it was not successful.
This book could be helpful in teaching students how to recognize sequences (i.e. first, next, then, last). It could also help students learn about patterns in stories and help them to make predictions. For example, the teacher could say: "The first house of straw was easy for the wolf to blow down. The next house was made of sticks and was a little more challenging. How do you think he'll do with the brick house?" and I think this book will help the children to expand their imagination
